PLAIN DEALER,
THE MURDER Case.
The Trial Of Clifford BeamaD for
the Murder Of John Haberly.
THE TESTIMONY AND THE JUDGES
INSTRUCTIONS TO THE JURY.
After Failure Of the Jury to Agree,
Beaman Pleads Guilty to Manslaugll-
ter, which the Judge Accepts and
Sentences him to Six Tears In the
State PenitentIary.

As preliminary to the following report
Of the trial it may be we'll to state briefly,
BY way OF review, that the body Of John
Haberly, jr., who had been missing since
the 10Th Of june last, was found in the
brush south OF Cresco on the 9Th OF No
vember last by boy. DR.. Clemmer, the
county coroner, took the body in charge
and summoned jury OF inquest. Clifford
Beaman, young man about % years OF
age. who was working on John Walton'e
farm in Orleans township, Winnesheik
county, was subpnnsed d witness and
then held for reasons which appear in the
evidence. The confessions OF Beaman
made to the coroner and the sheriff, on
the 9Th, 9Th and 9Th Of November, and
published in the TINES and PLAIN DEALER
Nov. II, 1886, are repeated in the testimo-
ny OF Dr. Clemmer, Sheriff Axtell and Mr..
McHngh: his confessions being to the
effect that John Haberly was killed in
Cresco on the night Of June IS, 1856, by
John Wentworth, now deceased, and that
he (Beaman) helped to secrete the body.
Hence Beaman's indictment and trial.
The case was tried here in the District
Court before Judge Granger, Feb. Ito 10.
The counsel for the State were w. X. Bar
ker. County Attorney, and C. Wellington
OF DEBORAH, employed by the father of
Haberly as special counsel. H. I. Reed,
assisted by G. E. Marsh Of Usage, for the
defense. The jury were Thos. eastman,
Daniel Sullivan. Emory Mead, N. Mcky,
!. B. Rowland. B. r. Evans, Thoe. Dawes,
J. L. Harlow, Jos. Walton, Geo. Watts,
John Livingston, and A. NJ. Van Leuven.

THE HAND An raaG WINDOW.
The Startling Light ~ hich Met the
Eyes of a sober Man.


A very mysterious proceeding has dis
turbed an Atlanta man, whose name is
withheld for good and sufficient reasons,
says the Constitution. The man lives in
the suburbs of the city and has beautiful
place. surrounded by good deal of shrub
berry. Several nights ago, While the moon
was shining, one of the windows of the
mans sittlng-room was raised to admit
fresh air.
The man CHANGED to be looking toward
the window and saw rising outside above
the sill skeleton hand. 1t remained there
barely second, then descended quickly.
The man was SO paralyZed by the uneX-
pected sight that he could hardly move.
When he regained self-control and went to
the window, no one could be seen and no
sound came to his ears.
Two or three nights afterward the skele-
ton hand silently appeared at the window
again. At the same time the mans ward
dog setup barking, rushed around the
house and dashed into the Shrubbery. The
man rushed into the yard and found the dog
growing angrily and shaking something.
which, when taken from him, proved to be
the skeleton hand and the lower bones of
all arm. That is all [ know about it.
